Aston Villa head coach Steven Gerrard says that the club yet to make a decision on the future of on-loan Barcelona attacker Philippe Coutinho.

Aston Villa head coach Steven Gerrard has said that the club are not in a rush to make a decision on the future of on-loan Barcelona attacker Philippe Coutinho.

The Brazil international joined Villa on loan during the January transfer window, and he has been a regular since his arrival at Villa Park, making seven appearances, scoring three times and contributing three assists.

The Premier League club have the option to sign the playmaker on a permanent basis this summer, but Gerrard has said that his team are yet to make a decision on the 29-year-old.

"When he's comfortable, he's happy and he's enjoying his football we all know we're dealing with a world-class talent," Gerrard told reporters.

"For me, it doesn't make sense to make any decisions now or say anything else on this, we just need to keep enjoying him and keep him healthy from now until the end of the season."

Coutinho still has 18 months left to run on his contract at Barcelona, but the Catalan giants are determined to sell him during this summer's transfer window.

The South American scored once and provided an assist in Villa's 4-0 win over Southampton in the Premier League last weekend.
